Manitoba Theatre for Young People, Professional theatre for young audiences in The Forks, Canada
Manitoba Theatre for Young People is a professional theatre company based at The Forks, designed specifically for young audiences. The venue contains multiple performance spaces with flexible configurations to accommodate different types of theatrical productions.
The organisation started in 1965 as Actors' Showcase before becoming a professional theatre for young audiences in 1982. This shift represented a turning point toward dedicating itself entirely to creating and performing theatre specifically for children and teenagers.
This venue serves as a creative hub where young performers can develop their skills and discover their voices on stage. The school programs here connect emerging talents with professional training and real performance opportunities in a supportive environment.
The theatre is centrally located at The Forks and is easily accessible on foot, with adequate parking nearby. Visitors should arrive early to explore the space and familiarise themselves with the different areas.
The company offers free training and performance programs specifically designed for Indigenous youth aged 12 to 18. This initiative provides young Indigenous people with professional artistic training while strengthening cultural connections.
